15 Best Prompts To Try With Dream Machine

We try to curate as many unique examples of AI videos made with Dream Machine to see how well it can form and how users can get the best out of it:

Prompt 1: Man with a television head walking through New York City Times Square

See this amazing video obtained from the above prompt where you can see a man walking in the Times Square area of New York in a 90s-style background. The man looks well dressed in a suit and the television on his head also looks like an old model, one matching the 90s era.

Awesome Imagination by Dream Machine!

Prompt 2: A young woman staring off into the distance surprised

Witness this amazing video generated from the above prompt, where you can see a girl staring into the distance quite surprised. The video is in a classic anime style and well captures the girl’s emotions and facial mechanics while adhering to the rotational dynamics of the head object.

Prompt 3: Cinematic-style shot of a cotton candy explosion

This is quite a colourful video scene where you can see a cotton candy explode and produce quite attractive pink gases. The scene is a delight to watch.

At the end of the scene, you can also see some soldiers running following the explosion. How did Dream Machine think of that? I wonder.

Prompt 4: Zoom in shot of a demon standing in front of a massive fire flapping its wings

Quite a majestic scene generated by Dream Machine. Almost feels straight out of a Hollywood movie when the zoom-in occurs towards the demon. A perfect hellish yet majestic scene, with picture-perfect quality and amazing mechanics.

Prompt 5: Cinematic shot of a western cowboy and Native American shoot out, monochromatic, natural light, film grain

I’m quite amazed at how well Dream Machine has done at capturing the Wild West-style effects as asked by this prompt. A perfect action-packed snippet representing the traditional native American shootout. The prompt well defines the style and quality, which helped Dream Machine to make the scene so perfect.

Prompt 6: Shakey camera, a huge earth elemental covered in moss

Quite a monstrous scene generated from a monstrous prompt. It’s impressive how Dream Machine managed to generate such an enormous entity in the exact same style as asked by the prompt. Just look at this thing!

What’s more impressive is how the camera rolls from bottom to top making us realize how enormous this scene actually is.

Prompt 7: A sweeping aerial shot of the old, secluded mansion, surrounded by dark woods hyper-realistic, cinematic

What I love about this scene is the intro. Look at how the leaves move and the mansion appears to you in a classic cinematic manner. Gives off quite the haunted and abandoned, yet elegant mansion feeling.

I’m beginning to wonder where is Dream Machine getting all these styles from. How are the prompts being matched so accurately?

Prompt 8: Realistic stuffed animal giraffe waving at the camera

Nothing much interesting about this prompt at a cinematic level but you can see Dream Machine well delivered what it was asked for. The giraffe waving looks well generated to be a stuffed toy. The eyes are also perfectly aligned to make it seem like it looks at you while waving at the camera.

Prompt 9: Cinematic high-angle dolly shot of French Revolution-era cult wearing cloaks and masks

Quite an interesting prompt, and an even more interesting generation! I want to first begin by complimenting the background. So well designed and well arranged. The dark alley and the old-fashioned lights in the sideways are a perfect combination to set the tone for the French Revolution era!

Now for the cult part. The cloaks and masks have been generated excellently. Seems like Dream Machine indeed knows what’s it doing when it generates clothing for a fixed style or genre.

Prompt 10: Cinematic shot of a husband slow dancing with his wife during a 1950s dance, monochromatic, natural light, film grain

Quite a romantic and elegant scene generated by Dream Machine. I’m yet again impressed by the touch of tone and style to make it look straight out of a 1950s movie scene, the vintage Hollywood era.

Once again if you look into the prompt, you will see the style and lighting have been well mentioned to make the scene generation more complete and perfect.

Prompt 11: A man skydiving from the Burj Khalifa.

Here’s our own generated snippet. We asked Dream Machine to generate a man skydiving from Burj Khalifa. The AI tool delivered but not as we expected.

The background gives quite the Dubai impression the height represents quite the view for a skydiving. But weirdly the man was made to look shirtless and also he seems to be teleporting during the fall.

Maybe Dream Machine could do a bit of work in the motion mechanics here, rest of everything seems fine to me at least. However, I’m mostly impressed by the accurate representation of the Burj Khalifa building.

Prompt 12: A busy New York City road full of cars

Another one of our creations uses the Dream Machine. I asked for a busy New York City road full of cars, just as it looks like on a usual day.

This time also Dream Machine delivered quite well. The traditional New York taxi impressed me, however the background car mechanics could also be improved a bit.

Rest everything looks fine overall. Impressive usage of colour and picture-perfect display.

Prompt 13: A rain of candy from the sky. Candies of different shapes and colors

This time Dream Machine provided us with such a wholesome video. I got exactly what I asked for. No complaints. I can see almost hundreds of candies falling from the sky in so many colors and shapes!

Good thinking and frame construction from Dream Machine make the scene so realistic, even if it’s not possible in real life.

Prompt 14: Helicopter flying over a large, futuristic city at night in low clouds and fog, with red and yellow neon lights in the city and helicopter

What a majestic scene. Almost a look into the future millennium city maybe. It would be wrong to say that Dream Machine has just portrayed the prompt perfectly, it has overdone it.

Beyond words for the helicopter mechanics and the magnificent skyscraper background including a lighted-up sky. Top-notch use of color gradients and action-packed scene construction. The prompt was given along with an image, but the image attributed to such a high-quality video.

Prompt 15: Zen monk meditating on a rocky ledge outside a retro-futuristic city

This one will surely put you into thoughts. How was Dream Machine so efficient at putting together two unrelated object actions, together in one frame?

A monk meditating outside a futuristic retro city? How cool! I’m amazed at how peaceful the monk appears to be regardless of the grand scene that lies ahead of him.

Quite a breathtaking scene generated by Dream Machine. However here the objects didn’t have much detail (for eg the clouds and the buildings)

Overall, from all the above prompts and their respective videos, we can only say one thing, you have to be expressive in your prompts so that Dream Machine can lay out the perfect scene construction for you. Try to mention the object action in detail, the background details, the scene style and also the lighting to make it look more than perfect.

Also most importantly remember to keep the ‘Enhance Prompt’ option on while you type out your prompts. This will result in a better understanding and breakdown of your prompt which will result in even better scenes.
